INTRODUCTION.
John le Romeyn, Romayn, or Romanus, archbishop of
York, came of clerical stock, though in a somewhat irregular
way. His father, another John le Romeyn, was so inti-
mately associated with the church of York, that it will not
be out of place to give a brief sketch of his career. In the
foundation deed^ of a chantry in the minster, made some-
where between 1241 and 1252, when he was archdeacon of
Richmond, 2 a little information is given of his parentage.
At this chantry, founded against the altar of St. Andrew,
which stood over against the north-west pillar of the lantern
of the minster, which he himself had built, and near St.
William's tomb, prayer was to be made for the souls of king
Richard i, John and Mary, the founder's parents, and for
Cincius his priest.^ After his death the patronage was to
belong to the dean and chapter. The priest celebrating this
chantry was not to be one of the vicars in the minster.
When he had sung the mass and the office for the dead he
was to be present in the choir in the minster at the canonical
hours, or at any rate high mass.* Endowments for this

chantry were made in no niggardly spirit. In York, five
rentcharges were given, namely, 20s from land he had bought
in Buthimi of the prebend of Strensale, held by him of Roger
de Sexdecimvallibus and Luke ; 22s paid him by Robert the
cook, for a house which had belonged to Geoffrey Brun ; one
mark from land in Bleykestret, held of him by Lenier^ and
his brother ; and 40^ and 32^ in Walmegate from the prebend
of Fridaythorpe, held by Philip the carter and Nicholas
Welpe's daughter. He also gave half a carucate of land in
Fridaythorpe as well as 3s rent and a windmill there, with
land with the houses on it in Barkaregate bought of Arnald
the priest. He further deposited sixty marks in the minster
treasury for the purchase of other lands. 2
Doubts were cast on his legitimacy, apparently without
reason, as in 1224 he had letters from the pope,^ declaring
that John Romanus, canon of York, was legitimate, he having
lost both parents when of tender age, and there having been
some uncertainty about his birth.
Names of a couple of other of his relatives are on record.
A nephew, Denis, in 1240 resigned all claim to the church of
Stanford-on-Avon (Northants.), which was in the patronage
of Selby Abbey ;* and another nephew, James Judici, was
pardoned in 1255 at the instance of Matthew Hanibal, a
Roman proconsul, for the rape of a woman at Wyvestowe,
now Westow, near Malton, on condition that he made peace

with her, or stood his trial if any one wished to proceed
against him.i
The earhest mention of the elder John le Romeyn occurs
on Nov. 23, 1218, when, already a canon of York, he was
appointed one of the commissioners to report about Robert
de Lelleia, clerk, of the diocese of York, who had three wives
and had publicly pleaded cases of bloodshedding in a secular
court, taking no notice of church censures, and had presumed
to hold the church of Tadcaster and many others with cure
of souls. 2 It seems probable Le Romeyn may have come
over in the train of Walo or Pandulph, who were papal legates
in England at the end of the reign of John and the beginning
of that of his successor. In 1228 he was presented by the
king to the church of Hampsthwaite (Hamethweit), which
must have been of considerable value as it was charged with
a pension of lOOs in favour of Henry de Essex, clerk. ^ Later
in the same year on the institution of the subdeanery of
York it was collated to him.*
The subdean must have been regarded as a man whose
favour was worth courting, probably on account of his being
able, through his Italian connections, to influence members
of the Curia. It was for this reason, very likely, that the
archbishop in 1236 granted him a pension of twenty marks a
year from his treasury until he should be provided to some-
thing better.^ His next piece of preferment was the arch-
deaconry of Richmond, in which he succeeded Robert Haget
in 1 241. 6 On attaining this dignity the archdeacon must
have vacated the subdeanery, which at this time was held
by Master Simon of St. Giles {de sancto Egidio)J The
archdeacon managed further to enrich himself by obtaining
possession of the treasurership at York. This must have
been about 1249. On St. Matthew's day (Sept. 21) in that

year it was still held by Robert Haget, the archdeacon's
predecessor at Richmond,^ and according to the Registrum
Alburn^ le Romeyn enjoyed that dignity in the same year.
This accumulation of benefices seems to have caused trouble,
as in 1255 he, as treasurer, although in possession of a
dispensation from a previous pope to hold the arch-
deaconry together with his other benefices, had a further
dispensation to retain the treasurership, having resigned
the archdeaconry.^ This resignation must have taken
place between May, 1249, when as archdeacon he had a grant
of the church of Bolton-le-Sands from John, abbot of the
monastery of St. Martin at Sees, in Normandy, and March
16, 1253-4, when William, archdeacon of Richmond, occurs
as a witness to a deed of archbishop Gray about land in
Goodramgate.* Nothing more seems to be recorded about
him. He must have died towards the end of 1255, for on Jan.
2, 1256, the king granted to his clerk, John Mansel, provost
of Beverley, the treasurership of the church of York
with the prebend annexed thereto, void by the death of John
le Romeyn, and in the king's gift by reason of the voidance
of the archbishopric on the death of archbishop Gray.^
During his long life, for he must have been sixty at least
when he died, he had managed to amass very considerable
wealth. Matthew Paris^ characterizes him as avaricious
and cantankerous {cavillosus). In another place Paris'^ draws
a fuller and even more unfavourable picture of the treasurer.
He terms him one of the most avaricious of men, crammed
{saginatus) with rents and treasures. For nearly fifty years
he had devoted himself to heaping up riches, and though the
chief or one of the chief canons of York, he had, like a
wicked spy, discovered a way of unlocking the English
treasury {ar chain Anglice) and of inciting the Romans to gape
in a greedier way than common after the rents and treasures
of this country, whether legally or illegally. This extortion
by the foreign clergy provoked reprisals. In the North,
Robert de Thweng of Kilton Castle, near Saltburn, under the
noni-de-guerre of Will Wither, acted as leader of bands which

foreign intruders, who, in fear of their hves, hid themselves
Uke thieves. John le Romeyn, then a canon of York, had to
conceal himself in the minster, expecting to have his head cut
off.i Other evidence confirms the unfavourable view taken
of Romeyn's character by Matthew Paris. His corres-
pondence with Robert Grosseteste, bishop of Lincoln, which
Canon Raine from insufficient knowledge thought redounded
to his credit, really shews him in a very discreditable light.
In one case^ the bishop had to refuse leave to the subdean of
York to let his church of Chalgrove in Oxfordshire, ^ although
his request was backed up by the papal nuncio. The other case
was that of a nephew whose illiteracy was so gross the bishop
was unable to institute him to the church of Stanford.*
Le Romeyn, however, had some sterling qualities. His
frequent employment by the Curia^ is a testimony to his
business capacity, and the important posts he held cannot
have been entirely due to favouritism. He was not without
gratitude to the church from which he derived his great
wealth. Stubbs^ is our authority for attributing to him the
building of the north transept of the Minster and the
lantern tower, together with a great part of the hospital of
St. Leonard. Not only did he do this at his own cost, but in
1234 he got a grant from the king of forty oaks from the
forest of Knaresborough and " Ockeden " for making a
belfry {berefridum) in which to hang the minster bells. '^ The
north transept still remains a monument of his munificence,
but the central tower has been refaced or destroyed. By his
will he endowed twelve beds for men and women in St.
Leonard's hospital, York.^ It was probably for furthering
this purpose that he built the greater part of the infirmary of
that hospital, and so arranged it that the two sexes could live

separately, Stubbs adds that in addition he did many
other acts of piety.i With the object of estabhshing an obit
in the minster he made a grant to the vicars there of 13s 4^
a year from land in Gutherumgate, lying next the messuages
of the prebends of South Newbald and Wistow^, payable by
the canons of those prebends ; and of los a year which Adam
de Sunderlathwyk had given him from land in Garton.
These rents were to be paid to the succentor and vice-
chancellor of the Minster,^
Of the parentage of his more illustrious son and namesake
on the female side we only have a contemptuous reference by
Henry Knighton,* who describes her as a waitingwoman
(pedissequa). The date of his birth is also not given. At
that time his father was still a subdeacon,^ and as in 1284 the
archbishop had held the church of Bolton-le-Sands for
over 33 years^ we may infer he was born about 1230. He
was educated at Oxford, and in after life looked back with
great regard to the place in which he had commenced his
studies.'^ From Oxford he proceeded to Paris, where in due
course he taught theology. ^ This probably accounts for his
owning a house in that city.^
He was still at the university, probably Paris, in 1256,
when he had a licence from the pope to pursue his studies for
five years, serving his church of Wallop in the diocese of
Winchester by a vicar. In the meantime he was not to be
compelled to take orders or reside. At the same time he had
a further indult to hold a benefice with cure of souls in
addition to Nether Wallop and Bolton. 10 This last is Bolton-
le-Sands where he must have succeeded his father, to whom it
was granted in 1249 ^^ right of his archdeaconry. 11

on Feb. 5, 1285-6 (shortly before the pope confirmed his
election as archbishop), to retain his benefices with fruits
received, and to be promoted to the episcopal or archi-
episcopal dignity, gives the previous dispensations and
consequent preferments : —
(i) Dispensation on account of illegitimacy to be ordained
and hold benefices, but not a bishopric without special papal
licence. Granted by Otto of Montferrat, bishop of Porto,
when cardinal of St. Nicholas in Carcere.i On which
Romanus had the church of Bolton-in-Lonsdale.2 which he
held for 33 years.
(2) Licence from Innocent iv. (1243-1254), to hold the
church of Wallop, dioc. Winton {i.e., Nether Wallop, deanery
of Andover, afterwards appropriated to the sub-chanter and
vicars choral of York), which he held for 28 years.
(3) Dispensation from Alexander iv (1254-1261), to hold
the church of Melling, dioc. York, which he held for seven
years.
(4) Dispensation from Gregor}^ x (1271-6) to hold the
chancellorship and prebend of Kelsey in Lincoln, on resigning
Melling : he held these for six years. Le Neve (ii, 92) notes
him as chancellor in 1275, and (ii, 196) as voiding the prebend
of Kelsey by accepting Nassington in 1258, which must be an
error for 1278.
(5) Licence from John xxi (1276-7) to be promoted to
episcopal dignity, and, on resigning the chancellorship and
prebend of Kelsey to accept the precentorship and prebend
of Nassington in Lincoln, together with the other above-
named churches (? Bolton and Wallop). Le Neve (ii, 83)
notes his tenure of the precentorship as from 1279, and
(ii, 191) notes him as prebendary of Nassington in 1284.
(6) Licence from Martin iv (1281-5) to retain the same

X. INTRODUCTION,
On his election to the see of York, some doubt was thrown
on the dispensation iitting him for the episcopal dignity. He
prayed Honorius iv to supph^ whatever defect there might be.
Honorins therefore granted the indult, considering that he
had taught theology at Paris for several years, and had given
proof of good hfe and approved morals. (C. P. L., i, 484).
The dates given above seem to indicate the following list
of preferments :

C. 1272. Chancellor of Lincoln and Prebendary of North
Kelsey.
C. 1278-9. Precentor of Lincoln and Prebendary of Nas-
sington.
On February 22, 1285-6, Honorius iv granted the arch-
bishop a faculty to give to some fit person the church of
Bolton-in-Lonsdale, although archbishop Wickwane and the
dean and chapter had ordered it, on his death or resignation,
to be united to the archdeaconry of Richmond {Cal. P. L.,
i, u. s.).
He also held at York the prebend of Warthill which had
been collated to him by archbishop Wickwane in December,
1279,1 which he held till he became archbishop.
Except that he was a professor of theology at Paris, very
little is known of him before he became archbishop. He was
in Paris in 1273, and on Friday before the Ascension in that
year (May 12) he wrote to the king informing him that he
had taken the attornment of John called Paris, the attorney
of Anthony de Camilla, canon of St. Paul's, London, in an
assize of novel disseisin which he was bringing before Robert
Fulconis, the king's justice, against Robert de Crevecur,
about a tenement in Checham.^
With the death of archbishop William Wickwane at
Pontigny in Burgundy, late in August, 1285, a new era
opened in Romeyn's life. The chapter of York^ made no
delay in their choice of a successor. On the morrow of St.
Simon and St. Jude (Oct. 29), in the same year they elected

Romeyn as their archbishopi and the next day informed the
king of their choice. 2 No delay seems to have occurred in
sending the letter with this information to the king ; perhaps
it was conveyed by the archbishop himself, as on Nov. 15,
the king, then at Beaulieu, in Hampshire, signified to the
pope his assent to the election. ^ Authorized by this assent
Romeyn hastened to Rome.
On his arrival the pope, Honorius iv, (Giacomo Savelli),
ordered an examination to be made of his election, from
which it appears that four beneficiaries* and ten canons voted
for him, the other votes being dispersed, on which Master
John de Craucumbe, archdeacon of the East Riding, one of
the three scrutators, declared him elected. Doubts having
arisen, to avoid delay and expense, Romeyn resigned,
whereupon the pope appointed certain commissioners to
elect for this turn without prejudice to the church of York.
As most of them occur in the register it will not be out of
place to give their names. They were Ancher of Troyes,
cardinal priest of Sta. Prassede, Hugh of Evesham, cardinal
priest of San Lorenzo in Lucina, Giordano Orsini, cardinal
deacon of Sant' Eustacio, B. the chamberlain, Percival of
Lavagna, Pietro Savelli, the pope's nephew, Neapoleone
Orsini,^ papal chaplains, Romeyn himself. Master John de
Craucumbe, and Master Thomas of Adderbury (Abberbyri),
canons of York, who were then in Rome. The pope confirmed
the election on Feb. 17,^ and ordered Romeyn to be conse-
crated by Latino Malabranca Orsini, cardinal bishop of
Ostia, and the pallium to be given him. The consecration
took place on Feb. 10, Septuagesima Sunday.^
The archbishop set off with all convenient speed for
England, and by means of his register we are enabled to
trace the homeward route. Altopascio, near Lucca, Vienne,

indulgences, were probably steps on his way north. i Pavia,
where he left a horse, must have been another resting place. ^
News of the expected arrival of the archbishop at once
revived the quarrel between the primates of the northern
and southern provinces as to the right of the former to carry
his cross erect before him in the South. The archbishop of
Canterbury, John Peckham, on March 26, sent orders to the
rural dean of Dover to do all in his power to prevent this, and
on April 6, hearing that Romeyn was expected to land at
Dover the next day. Palm Sunday, he sent similar orders to
the dean of the Arches and Master William de Haverberg or
Haleberg (now Harborough), who were to stop Romeyn on his
way to London to see the king.
All who should shew any reverence to Romeyn were
threatened with excommunication, and the places he passed
through subjected to interdict. Hearing that the archbishop
of York was staying in Bermondsey priory, Peckham issued
further stringent orders to prevent anyone going to that
house, even on pilgrimage to pay their devotions, as long as
Romeyn was there. ^ Romeyn, who attached very consider-
able importance to his right to carry his cross erect, as is
evidenced by his letters on the subject to Rome,* was equally
resolute, and by the help of the king, who ordered that
victuals should be sold to him and his household whilst on
his way to the royal presence, he was enabled to proceed on
his journey. This order was to continue in force till
Ascension day (May 23).^
Under the protection of this safe conduct the archbishop
seems to have made some stay at Bermondsey, which he left
on April 14, and journeyed on to St. Albans the same day.
Two days later he was at King's Langley, in Hertfordshire,
where it is probable that the order to Malcolm de Harle, who
had had the custody of the archbishopric of York during the
vacancy of the see, to restore the temporalities to Romeyn
was issued. 6

With the help of his itinerary (p. 191) it is possible to trace
his journey to York. Travelling by Castle Bytham in
Lincolnshire, he entered his own diocese at Laneham, on the
27th. He stayed in Nottinghamshire for nearly a month and
then proceeded to Cawood (May 24), where he stopped whilst
preparations were being made in York for his enthronement
on June 9, Trinity Sunday.i This ceremony was followed by a
magnificent banquet. Some of the letters of invitation^ to
this feast have been entered in his register as examples of how
such epistles should be addressed according to the recipient's
rank. Forms are given of letters of this kind addressed to
bishops, earls, barons, knights, archdeacons, officials, rectors,
suffragans, and abbots and priors. Amongst those invited
were the bishops of London, Lincoln, ^ and Carlisle, the earls
of Warenne and Cornwall, Sir William de Ros, Sir Richard de
Sutton, and the abbot of St. Mary's, York. Some of those
to whom letters were sent would no doubt be unable to
accept, and in Wickwane's Register* there are three refusals,
including one from Oliver Sutton, bishop of Lincoln.
From the very outset of his episcopate the archbishop
found himself confronted by many serious difficulties, the
most pressing being want of money. Many causes contributed
to his impoverishment. Most of them were incidental to his
position. First, and perhaps most heavy, were the expenses
incurred at the Curia about his election and confirmation.
On his arrival in England he would have to pay the fees due
for the restoration of the temporalities, as well as in addition
lending the king 2,000 marks, which he had to borrow from
Bartholomew de Ferentino.^ The manors belonging to the
see would be bare of stock and provender. Corn had to be
purchased, and a sum of looli was spent as an instalment
of what was due for the com grown during the vacancy of the
see.6 His predecessor, archbishop Wickwane,'^ towards the

close of his life, remembering the hardships he had suffered in
entering upon the see which had been swept bare by the
officials of the Exchequer, so that there were no means even
of cultivating the soil, made arrangements that certain head
of stock, oxen, horses, and sheep, should always be kept at
the different manors belonging to the see, including those in
Gloucestershire and Northumberland, and that the keeper
of the temporalities during the vacancy should have the use
of them but would be bound to keep the numbers up, and
that each of his successors should do the same in his turn.
Notwithstanding this very handsome gift of over i,6oo head
of stock, the archbishop had to pay i,o^6li i8s to Wickwane's
executors for corn and beasts and loans. i The manors
belonging to the see were in such a state of disrepair that the
dilapidations amounted to 220 marks (14611 13s 4^).^ To
meet these liabilities, besides the income of his see, which
would already be pledged for a considerable period, he had a
grant from the pope^ of the first fruits of all benefices
becoming void in his diocese for a period of three years
towards the payment of the debts of the see, but from this he
would not derive any immediate benefit, so he was compelled
to run into debt. Between June, 1286, and the end of that
year he borrowed 2173/^' 13s ^d,^ as well as authorizing his
agent at Rome to raise money to the amount of 500 marks
(333^^ 6s 8d),^ probably to help pay the charges incurred at
his election. Even these large sums seem to have been
insufficient to free Romeyn from his difficulties. He was
during all his career at York in want of money. The
references in the register^ to a special register, called " the
old register," which was entirely devoted to recording the
archbishop's bonds and receipts (obligaciones et quiete
clamaciones), bear eloquent testimony to his pecuniary
embarrassments.
The matter, however, which caused the greatest annoyance
and inconvenience to the archbishop was the system of
papal provisions. The pope claimed the right to nominate to
all ecclesiastical dignities, even the highest. At the beginning
of the 13th century Stephen Langton had been consecrated
archbishop of Canterbury against king John's wish, and
Romeyn himself was chosen at Rome by electors nominated

by the pope. England suffered more than other countries
from this evil, which had long been a subject of bitter
complaint. Bishop Robert Grosseteste of Lincoln had
inveighed in vehement terms against these papal encroach-
ments on the rights of patrons, but it was not till the middle
of the next century (1351) that a statutei was passed against
such provisions, " whereby if they should be suffered there
should scarcely be any benefice within a short time in the
said realm, but that it should be in the hands of aliens and
denizens by virtue of such provisions, against the good will
and disposition of the founders of the same benefices." The
cathedrals and collegiate churches suffered most from these
provisions as the benefices and prebends in them as a rule had
no cure of souls annexed. The results were disastrous.
Divine service, owing to the diversion of the stipends of
prebendaries and other dignitaries to foreigners, could no
longer be celebrated in a suitable manner, the intentions of
the pious founders were frustrated, and the archbishop
deprived of his most valuable patronage, and, in consequence,
unable to reward deserving clergy according to their merits.
The foreigner would regard his benefice merely as a source of
revenue and know as little about the country in which it lay
as nowadays an investor in South American securities knows
of South America ; and even if he did come, his ignorance of
the language and customs of the country would make him
unfitted to render much effective service to its religious life.
This evil had attained very considerable dimensions in the
diocese of York. In 1289 the archbishop, in a letter to a
cardinal, 2 remonstrating with him for asking that an Italian
should be provided to a prebend at Beverley, said that it was
the tenth provision the pope had made since he had become
archbishop. This statement is perfectly accurate, and can
be proved from the register. At York there were provisions
to four prebends for Pandolfo Savelli (no. 1040), Pietro
Savelli (no. 1051), Andrew de Languisel (no. io6ow), and
Francesco Gaetani (no. 1075) ; two at Beverley, for Boniface
of Aosta (no. 1052), and Oddo de' Conti (no. 1082) ; one at
Ripon for Giovanni Saraceni (no. 1076) ; and three at
Southwell for Anglerus Jacobi of Rome (no. 1040), who was
succeeded by Giovanni Colonna (no. 1072), and George de
Solerio (no. 1078). This list by no means comprehends all
^25 Edward iii, st. 4, commonly called " The Statute of Provisors."

Xvi. INTRODUCTION,
the foreigners beneficed in these churches. At the time the
archbishop was writing the following dignities in the church of
York were held by foreigners, the prebends of Apesthorpe,
South Cave, Husthwaite, North Newbald, and Wistow.
The office of sacrist of the Chapel of St. Mary and the Holy
Angels was and long had been held by a foreigner. At Ripon
and Southwell the case was no better, four prebends in each
chiuxh being in the possession of foreigners. Matters did
not improve later. Between 1290 and 1300 some of the most
important offices were monopolised by aliens. They held
the archdeaconries of York and Cleveland, the treasurership
at York, and the prebends of Bugthorpe, Fenton, Givendale,
Knaresborough, South Newbald, Strensall twice, and Wistow;
at Beverley the provostship, chancellorship, and five pre-
bends ; one at Ripon, and seven at Southwell. Like an army
of caterpillars these aliens, for the most part Italians,
devoured the fairest and richest benefices in the diocese of
York.i
It may be noted that the statute of Provisors, though
decided enough in its wording and re-enacted several times,
was not much more than an academic resolution. While the
king's clerical relations and clerks (the sublimes et literati in
whose favour the papal legislation against pluralities — e.g.,
Innocent iii's famous Demulta — made exceptions) depended
for their income on their benefices, the claim of the pope to be
the fountain-head of all spiritualities could not be ignored. In
practice, the Crown gained to some extent by effecting a
compromise over provisions with the papacy — i.e., it accepted
provisions of its own nominees to vacant sees — ; but the
ordinary lay patron was left much as before. The clergy
themselves abstained from voting in 1351. The later volumes
of the Cal. of Papal Letters shew what little power the statute
of provisors had to check provisions. The returns of pluralities
made in 1366 to Urban v, which are complete for the province
of Canterbury, shew how thoroughly the pope's claims to
reserve and provide to vacant benefices were recognised by
the Church in England. The influx of aliens had largely
ceased before 1351, but, as long as parliament had no control
over spiritualities, the denizen clergy looked to papal
dispensations as their main source of aggrandisement. As

institution is necessary to induction, and as the mandate for
induction was issued by the spiritual authority who, in the
later 14th and 15th centuries, although habitually a nominee
of the Crown, uniformly held his see by a bull of provision, it
is obvious that no check upon provisions could be really
satisfactory.
The scandalous pro\dsions made to foreigners in the 13th
and 14th centuries, which became less common during the
French wars, were very largely the result of collusion between
the Crown or lay patrons who had married into foreign
families with the popes. Witness the case of James of Spain
or Boniface and George of Saluzzo. If the pope was called
upon to issue indults for these young scions of royal and
noble houses, he might excusably draw upon rich English
benefices for his curiales.
Injurious as the provisions were to the church of York
there was a probability that on the alien's death the patron-
age would revert to the archbishop, but now a permanent
alienation was threatened. It was suggested by cardinal
Matteo Rubeo Orsini, prebendary of Fenton, that that
prebend, with that of Nassington, in the church of Lincoln,
should be annexed to the hospital of Santo Spirito in Sassia
at Rome, of which he was warden, and thus the church of
York would be permanently deprived of the emoluments of
one of its prebends. This proposal evoked a letter, dated
Sept. 20, 1288, written at Jaca in Aragon,i of earnest remon-
strance from the archbishop, conceived in very bitter terms
considering the high rank and importance of the person to
whom he was writing. He complained of the tribute which
was imposed on his church for the benefit of foreigners, and
especially the proxdsions made for the cardinal and Andrew
de Languisel, the brother of the bishop of Porto, and that in
York and its dependent collegiate churches divine service
could not be properly celebrated for want of resident clergy.
He then goes on to shew what evils would arise in the church
of York from the proposed alienation : —

The archbishop then goes on to point out what a serious
matter it would be to divert the endowments of the prebend
to uses other than those contemplated by the founder, and in
conclusion beseeches the cardinal to protect the interest of
the church of which he was a member.
Early the next year the kingi scotched this nefarious
project, threatening imprisonment and other severe penalties
against all who should, in derogation of his prerogative and
disherition of his crown, attempt to procure the annexation
of these two prebends of Fenton and Nassington^ to the
hospital of Santo Spirito.
Undeterred by these hindrances Romeyn proceeded to
discharge his duties in the most energetic manner. Within a
year he had visited all the archdeaconries in his diocese
except Richmond, probably in consequence of its remoteness.^
In addition to his more strictly diocesan duties there were
certain questions of considerable importance awaiting
solution, one of the most pressing of which was the arch-
bishop's claim to visit the dean and chapter of his metro-
politan church. The dean and chapter claimed that under
certain papal indults they were exempt from visitation by
the archbishop, and it was not until they received an order
from the pope himself, dated Sept. 15, 1290, to exhibit such
indults and the archbishop was empowered in default of
their producing them, to proceed with his visitation,

that they could be induced to enter into an agree-
ment on the subject. 1 By this agreement, which was
made on Nov. 21, 1290, the dean (Henry of Newark)
promised to pay obedience to the archbishop, and
the archbishop agreed that he should visit once only every
five years. At this visitation he was to be accompanied by
no one except two of the canons, and the articles were not to
be set down in writing. Offences were to be corrected by
the dean and chapter within six months, and if nothing were
done in that time, then the archbishop might correct. There
were further provisions in this agreement regulating appeals
from the auditor of the dean and chapter to the archbishop's
and for hearing objections by the dean and chapter against
persons nominated by the archbishop to stalls in the
cathedral. Both parties attached so much importance to
this agreement that they wrote letters to the pope asking him
to confirm it. 2
The concluding of this agreement was probably facilitated
by the election of a new dean in the spring of 1290, in succes-
sion to Robert of Scarborough, whose relations with Romeyn
had been so hostile that he ultimately deprived Scarborough
of the deanery. The dean figures so largely in this Register
that it is worth while giving a short sketch of his career.
Robert of Scarborough seems to have been closely connected
with the Uctred or Oughtred^ family, of which, perhaps, he
was a member. His first appearance is in 1263, when he
was chancellor of the church of York. He must have vacated
this office very shortly after, as William Wickwane, after-
wards the archbishop, was in possession of it the year
following.* Perhaps he resigned it for the archdeaconry of
the East Riding, which he held in January, 1262-3. ^ On
March 25, 1269, archbishop Giffard collated Adlingfleet to
him. 6 During the episcopate of archbishop Wickwane he
continued to have preferments heaped upon him. His
election to the deanery of York was confirmed by the arch-
bishop on Oct. 30, 1279.'^ This seems to have involved the
surrender of the archdeaconry and the prebend of Grindale,

in both of which his successor was Master John de
Crucumbe,! and probably the prebend of Knaresborough.2
However, as a solatium, that of Husthwaite^ was collated
to him on Dec. 20, 1280. It was not till he became dean that
he received letters dimissory for the priesthood.* Besides
his ecclesiastical duties he was employed by the king on
different affairs of importance. In 1275 he was appointed
with William de la Corner, a canon of York, afterwards
bishop of Salisbury, to act as king's proctor in his case
against Gaston of Bearn.^ He seems to have given satisfac-
tion, as the king ordered him to be provided to a benefice,
prebendal or other, with or without cure of souls, in
accordance with a bull of pope Gregory x, empowering the
king to have three clerks of his household so provided. ^
In 1282 he was sent to the curia on the king's business, and
five years later he had letters of protection when going to
Ireland.''' From his different offices Scarborough must have
accumulated very considerable wealth. In 1281 he was able
to lend archbishop Wickwane 300 marks,^ and June 10, 1286,
he advanced to Romeyn the large sum of 1,000 marks,
payable at Trinity, 1288.^ The harmonious relations between
the dean and the archbishop were soon broken. The rupture
was brought about by the refusal of the dean to contribute
to the cost of the case at the Curia, where Bogo de Clare,
who laid claim to Adlingfieet, was endeavouring to get
possession of that church. The archbishop, who when
precentor of Lincoln had acted as a judge in this case, and
must have been well acquainted with all the attendant
circumstances, not unjustly expected that as Scarborough
would reap the benefit, he should indemnify him against the
costs. On his refusal to do so the archbishop at once
(Dec. II, 1286) proceeded to sequestrate Adlingfieet, and
cited him to show under what dispensation he held that
church, as well as Foston-on-the-Wolds.i'^ The archbishop
was most unrelenting in his attacks on Scarborough. In
December, 1286, the dean was summoned to answer for his

contumacy in not appearing at the visitation of the chapter
of Beverley, of which he was a canon, and for articles then
found against him.i In September he was deprived of his
deanery and prebends at York (Husthwaite) and Beverley. 2
The archbishop, not content with prosecuting him with the
utmost rigour in his own diocese, informed the bishop and
archdeacon of London of his excommunication, no doubt
with the object of getting him deprived of his prebend of
Ealdland in St. Paul's. ^ Ultimately an agreement was
brought about by the intervention of the king, and on May
8, 1290, Scarborough consented to resign all claim to the
deanery, the prebends at York and Beverley, and the church
of Adlingfleet, in consideration of an annuity of 400 marks
and the fruits of his benefices accrued since the king had
released them.* Shortly after this (May 20), the archbishop
repaid the 1,000 marks which he had borrowed from Scar-
borough in 1286, though it was due in the summer of 1288.^
Probably the reason of the delay was that as long as
Scarborough was under sentence of excommunication he
could not plead in any court. ^
The dean did not long enjoy his annuity. On March 10,
1290-1, his goods were being administered by his executors.'
Equal energy was displayed in visiting the other important
chapters in the diocese. Beverley and Ripon were visited at
least three times, and important ordinances were issued for
their government.^ At Southwell, after visitation, Romeyn
issued a decree, in which he regulated wdth great minuteness
and care the affairs of that college.^ Non-residence was the
crying e\dl in every case, and even in the chapel of St. Mary
and the Holy Angels, under the very shadow of the Minster,
where the canons were for the most part English,!^ the
archbishop found matters no better than where many of the
beneficiaries were foreigners or had papal indults excusing
them from residence. ^i

Xxii. INTRODUCTION.
Another thorny question was settled satisfactorily. For
long there had been a controversy between the archbishops
of York and the prior and convent of Durham about the
diocesan jurisdiction in the see of Durham during a vacancy.
By the mediation of bishop Bek the prior and convent
acknowledged in 1286 that such jurisdiction belonged to the
archbishop. 1
Soon after his installation the archbishop set about
making himself acquainted with his diocese.
Not content with visiting Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire,
he extended his travels in the north to Hexhamshire, pene-
trating as far as Alwinton, high up the Coquet, and in the
west to Churchdown and other outlying portions of the
archbishopric in Gloucestershire. None of his successors,
or at any rate for some considerable period, journeyed north
as far as Hexhamshire. The Scotch invasions rendered that
part of the country too poverty-stricken and unsafe for
further visits. His itinerary 2 bears testimony to his restless
energy. He visited Hexham four times, Churchdown five,
and was in London at least ten times, besides journeys to
Gascony, France, and Italy. To take as a typical example
the years 1291 and 1292. In May, June, and July in the
earlier year^ he was in Northumberland, in October and
November in Gloucestershire, and in December he had
reached Creil and Troyes in France, on his way to Rome.
The greater part of the first ten months of 1292 were spent
in Italy, London not being reached till November. If
records of his peregrinations outside Yorkshire and Notting-
hamshire, especially beyond the seas, had been preserved,
no doubt there would have been even greater reason to ad-

mire his activity. An exact list of the places he passed through
on his way to Rome would be most interesting. Unluckily,
on his outward journey, only a couple of places are mentioned,
Creil, north of Paris, and Troyes. A visit to Citeaux,i where
he probably spent Christmas, must have necessitated his
going by Dijon and Beaune. The rest of the itinerary is
blank. On the return journey he passed through Viterbo,
Florence, Bologna, and Luzarches, this side of Paris, where
he may have stopped to pay his vows to St. Cosmas and St.
Damian, whose relics attracted many pilgrims.
The archbishop's other journey abroad, some two years
earlier, this time to Spain, brought him into close connection
with important public events. In the early summer of 12862
the king crossed to France by the invitation of the French
king, Philip iv, to mediate with Alfonso iii, king of Aragon,
for the liberation of Charles, prince of Salerno and Achsea,
a relation of Philip's who had been taken prisoner in a sea-
fight by the Aragonese. The wrongs Alfonso had suffered
from the French in the person of his ancestors must have
been a great provocation to avenge them on his captive.
He himself, a grandson of Manfred, represented the
Ghibellines and Hohenstaufens, and Charles, the son of
Charles of Anjou, king of Naples, the murderer of Manfred,
the Guelfs. To avert this danger Edward, after paying
homage to the French king for his possessions beyond the
seas, set out for Gascony about Whitsuntide. The chief
authorities^ for this period become confused in their chrono-
logy in their record of Edward's visit to southern France.
The Waverley Chronicle states that he was at Oloron in
Beam under the year 1287, which is certainly a year wrong.
Walsingham, although giving dates obviously incorrect,
mentions a long stay in Gascony, and a treaty with Alfonso
which was arranged outside Gascony, though Oloron is not
mentioneci. With the assistance of Romeyn's itinerary
(p. 194) it is possible to give within certain hmits the probable
date of this treaty. Romeyn dates documents at Merignac,
a small town, ten miles west of Bordeaux, on May 7, 1288,
and at Bordeaux on the 20th. It seems most likely that the

archbishop was then in attendance on the king, and
accompanied him to Oloron (Basses- Pyrenees), on the north
side of the Pyrenees (Aug. 19). Here it is probable the
meeting between the kings of England and Aragon took
place and arrangements were made for the liberation of the
prince of Salerno. Romeyn seems to have accompanied
Alfonso across the Pyrenees to Jaca, a town in Aragon, on
the southern slope of these mountains, travelling by the
Val d'Ossau and near the Pic du Midi. When at Jaca he
despatched his letter (Sept. 20) to cardinal Matteo Rubeo
Orsini, protesting against the annexation of the prebend
of Fenton to the hospital at Rome, taking advantage of a
mission Alfonso, who was under a sentence of excommunica-
tion, was sending to the Curia, praying for absolution.
Romeyn, as soon as his task was complete, hurried back.
He was over the Pyrenees- and at Oloron on Sept. 25, had
reached Paris by Oct. 15, and was in London by the 6th
of the next month.
Romeyn did not retain the king's favour long. His
refusal to be reconciled, at the king's request, with the
bishop of Durham, excited the king's resentment. 1 The
final breach, however, was due to a cause which during the
thirteenth century had given rise to strife in all western
Europe, the conflict between the ecclesiastical and civil
powers. This conflict was exemplified on a large scale in
the contest between the Empire and the Papacy, in which
victory remained with the latter. A little later Boniface viii
(elected 1294), in his bulls, Clericis laicos and Ad perpetuam
rei memonam, asserted in a most uncompromising manner the
subjection of the secular to the ecclesiastical authority.
These excessive pretensions naturally led to opposition, and
in no country were they more strongly resisted than in
England, where the national feeling against the interference
of ecclesiastics in secular matters supported the king in
withstanding any encroachment by foreigners on his preroga-
tives. It was this feeling which prompted the passage of the
Mortmain acts and the barons' letter to the pope, repudiating
his claim to be overlord of Scotland. It was on this point
that Romeyn came into conflict with the king. Even
before his election he had got into trouble by infringing the
royal prerogative. In 1285 he had, contrary to the king's
prohibition, sued the prior of Huntingdon in an ecclesiastical
^Chyonicon de Lanercost, 1, 137, sub anno 1290.
INTRODUCTION. XXV.
court in a matter over which a secular court had jurisdiction,
and when put to the question {occasionatus) about it before
the king's judges in eyre at Northampton, had departed the
court without their leave. In reparation Romeyn had to
make full submission to the king and satisfy the prior on
whose behalf the prohibition had been issued. The king
attached such importance to this submission that he caused
it to be enrolled in perpetual remembrance of the matter.^
The subject which finally brought the archbishop into
collision with the king arose out of a quarrel with the bishop
of Durham. The relations between the archbishops of York
and their suffragans at Durham were seldom harmonious.
The then bishop, Anthony Bek, later patriarch of Jerusalem,
a wealthy and ambitious prelate, was even less inclined than
his predecessors to yield any obedience to his metropolitan
he could possibly evade. If it is true that Romeyn's pre-
decessor had been bribed not to exercise his jurisdiction over
Durham^ it must have made it more difficult for him to
enforce his rights. Unfortunately, Alan of Easingwold,
Bek's official, with whom Romeyn was brought into contact,
was very much inclined to do his best to foment the enmity
between the two prelates ; " ecclesie nostre persecutor
acerbus,"^ the archbishop calls him in one place. This
animosity was due to an attempt to expel him from the
church of Kirkby in Kendal, into which he had illegally
intruded, an attempt which was successful, and ultimately
brought about his excommunication.* In his capacity of
bishop's official, Easingwold prevented appeals from the
consistory court at Durham to the archbishop. The
persistence of Easingwold in this practice obliged the arch-
bishop as well as the chapter of York to send a letter of
protest^ to Bek, praying him to cause such proceedings to
cease. The bishop took no notice of the appeal, and thus a
quarrel commenced between the archbishop and his suffragan,
which in the result had very serious consequences for the
archbishop.

Documents cease here in the register, while the suit
between the archbishop and Bek was pending, and the sequel
of the case is found in the extract from the Close Rolls^ of
which the following is a summary.
John, archbishop of York, was attached to answer to the
king of a plea that, whereas pleas of imprisonments and other
trespasses committed in the realm against the king's peace
pertain specially to the king and his crown and dignity, the
archbishop by John, prior of Boulton-in-Craven, his com-
missary, caused a sentence of excommunication to be
fulminated against Anthony, bishop of Durham, while he
was in the northern parts in the king's service and by his
side by the king's order and under the king's protection,
because the bishop's bailiffs took and imprisoned William de
Wilelon (sic) and John Romayne found at Durham, and he
caused the sentence to be put into execution, as the king
learned from many trustworthy men ; wherefore the king,
being unable to let such contempt and irreverence pass
unpunished, especially as the king and the bishop, as far as
lay in his power, were always prepared to exhibit speedy

justice to William and John concerning the imprisonment in
accordance with the custom of the realm, etc.
Richard de Brettevill, suing for the king, states that the
sentence had been pronounced by the archbishop's orders on
Wednesday before St. James, 20th year (July 23, 1292), at
Derlyngton, and on Thursday and Sunday following at
Alverton, and in many other places of the bishop's diocese, in
contempt of the king, the injury of his royal dignity, and
contrary to the reverence due to the king in this behalf, in
despite of the king of £20,000. And this he offers to verify
for the king, etc.
The archbishop denied the contempt, etc., either in deed
or will. He says that he ought not to answer in the king's
court concerning a sentence pronounced a canone and
declared by him, but that he would nevertheless out of
reverence for the king, saving the liberty of his church,
declare his deed and the truth of his deed, and would not use
exceptions or cavils. The bishop was his suffragan and
subject and bound to obey his canonical mandates. When
he would not do so, he sent his clerks to the bishop with a
citation. They were taken and detained at Durham by the
bishop and his ministers. The archbishop, therefore, " as a
father to a son and a superior to a subject and as one who
ought, according to the duty of his ofhce, to work for the
correction of the soul, for the health of the soul only and not
for pecuniary or other pain," admonished the bishop to
release the clerks or give a reason for not doing so. As the
bishop took no heed, the archbishop sent a second monition
with a threat of suspension. The bishop refused to give the
clerks up, and received a third monition with a threat of
excommunication a canone. The bishop hardened his heart,
and would not obey ; and so the archbishop, in accordance
with his office, and in no way to the prejudice of the king,
ordered the sentence of excommunication to be declared.
The archbishop thus thought that he might and ought to
proceed as against a contumacious subject without offence
to the king. Answering the charge that he had ordered the
sentence to be pronounced while the bishop was with the
king and under his protection, he said that he (the archbishop)
was beyond the sea when it was pronounced. 1 That he had
ordered his commissary to pronounce it only in the proper
places, where there could be no offence to the law or the king's
^This is proved by the archbishop's itinerary (p. 199).
INTRODUCTION. Xxix.
privilege, and that, if his commissary exceeded his limits, he
ought not to bear the blame. He did not publish the sentence
because of the imprisonment of the clerks, but because of the
bishop's manifest disobedience. He prayed the king to
weigh the premises according to the bishop's duty and inten-
tion, and do justice to him and his church.
Richard de Brettevill founded his argument on the double
status of the bishop, (i) a bishop in respect to spiritualities,
(2) an earl palatine in respect to temporalities. As (i) he
was bound to obey the archbishop's mandates ; as (2) he
was answerable only to the king, of whom he held his temporal
fees. The archbishop had acknowledged that his clerks were
taken by the bishop's temporal ministers, and were
imprisoned in the bishop's castle. Cognisance of such
trespass belonged to none but the king, except by royal
grant, and could not be dealt with by the archbishop's
method of ecclesiastical censure ; and the imprisoned persons
ought more properly to seek recovery in the king's court, as
the offence was personal on both sides. It could not be
denied that the sentence had been pronounced by the
archbishop's commissary, when the bishop was with the king
and under his protection ; and that it was in contempt, etc.,
of the king, because the clerks were imprisoned by the
bishop's lay ministers in a temporal tenement. The arch-
bishop had thus exercised as a temporal judge a jurisdiction
which he did not possess in those things that pertained to the
king's crown and dignity. He prayed judgment of the
archbishop's acknowledgment, etc.
A day was given in three weeks from Easter.
The archbishop then came before the king and council, and
acknowledged the double status of the bishop, but said that
the bishop ought not to obey him less in temporal than in
spiritual things by reason of the temporalities. His mandates
had been purely canonical : the bishop's sentence was
incurred in canon law by disobedience of canonical mandates.
To the questions whether the prison where the clerks were
was of the bishop's barony or his spirituality, and whether
prisoners therein ought to be or had been delivered by the
bishop's ministers, he answered that the prison was in the
castle, which was of the barony, and that prisoners therein
ought to be and had been delivered by the bishop's lay
ministers, according to the laws and custom of the realm.
He acknowledged that, in a voidance of the see of Durham,
XXX. INTRODUCTION.
the prison was in the king's custody, and not in that of the
guardian of the spirituaUty : nevertheless his clerks, bearing
canonical mandates, were taken by the ministers of his
suffragan, and, by reason of the obedience due to him, the
suffragan should have delivered them in whatever prison
they were.
As the archbishop had acknowledged the temporal status
of the bishop, that imprisonments made by the bishop's
ministers pertained to that status, that the prison was part
of the temporal barony, etc., etc., and that he had acted
without regard to the status of the captors of his clerks, the
reason why the imprisonment was made, or to whom the
delivery, a royal prerogative, pertained, he was judged to
have infringed the prerogative of the crown, contrary to laws
and loyalty. The council agreed that he should be com-
mitted to prison.
The archbishop requested to be admitted to the king's
grace and will before judgment was pronounced. This, at
the instance of the magnates of the council, was granted him,
the archbishop praying that he might submit himself to t\ie
king's will. He was told not to go from parliament until he
had heard the king's will, under pain of grievous forfeiture.
The end of the matter was that the archbishop made fine
of 4,000 marks with the king by deed obligatory, charging
the payment on himself and his goods, with the power of
distraint to the king. His sureties were the bishop of
Carlisle (John of Halloughton), the dean of York (Henry of
Newark), the archdeacon of York (William of Hambleton),
the archdeacon of the East Riding (John of Crowcumbe),
and the archdeacon of Nottingham (William of Pickering).
The fine bore date, Westminster, Wednesday before
Whitsuntide (May 13), 1293.1
It was never the king's intention to exact this enormous
fine. No part of it was ever levied. Immediately after
Romeyn's death the king forgave it to his executors. ^ The
object of the fine was to keep the archbishop in dependence
on the king's wishes. It is true he continued to be summoned

to Parliament! like other peers of the realm, but he did not
dare to oppose the royal wishes. The next year (1294) the
king appealed to the clergy for assistance in his war with
France. The bishops wished to consult before deciding,
but Romeyn, the only archbishop present, as the see of
Canterbury was vacant by the death of John Peckham,
terrified by the huge sum in which he was bound to the king,
ran away secretly^.
These troubles in no wise hindered Rome5m in the discharge
of his pastoral duties. Up to within a week of his death
he was still working. He died at Bishop Burton, near
Beverley, on Passion Sunday (March 10), 1295-6, having
held office as archbishop ten years, one month, and nearly a
day.3 " It is not known where he was first laid ; but when
archbishop Thoresby began the rebuilding of the choir, he
removed the bones of Romanus, and deposited them in the
presbytery, placing over them a marble stone which was
decorated with brass."*
Stubbs,^ the official chronicler of the church of York, says
Romeyn was honourably buried, but Knyghton^ tells a
very different story. He reports that the archbishop died
suddenly and in consequence derived little benefit from
the dispositions he had made by his will, and that the
expenses of his funeral were borne by strangers. His
executors' refused to act, and his exequies were celebrated
with but little pomp, no bread or money being distributed
for the benefit of his soul.

he is said to have inherited from his Itahan father. Knyghtoni
accuses him of appropriating intestates' estates and says he
became, as it were, mad with the desire of gain. Canon
Raine^ tells a story showing into what dishonourable and
unseemly actions the archbishop's avarice led him. " Some
time before this (the infliction of the 4,000 marks fine) the
king had expelled the Jews from England,^ and appropriated
their possessions. Among the sufferers was a person of the
name of Bonamy, who had lived at York. When Romanus
was on his way home from the papal court he halted at
Paris,* where he met Bonamy. The Jew told him he had
lent the prior and convent of Bridlington the sum of 300//,
which was still owing to him, and begged him to recover it
for him. It was afterwards insinuated that the archbishop
bought the debt ; but this he denied, and it is only fair to
believe him. When Romanus came back to England he
made an official visitation of the priory of Bridlington,^ and
the existence of the debt being proved, the archbishop
compelled the prior to pay the ^ooli to one of his officers.
It was an obligation, he told him, which the convent could not
conscientiously disown. Quite true, my lord archbishop,
but the money ought to have gone, not to yourself, but to the
Jew or the king. Romanus, by receiving it, put himself at
the mercy of the prior, who lost no time in complaining of
his diocesan for concealing money which belonged to the
crown. The case was of course decided against the
archbishop, but we are not told to what penalty he was
subjected. His conduct, to say the least, was suspicious in
the extreme ; and most persons will be inclined to think it
was highly reprehensible." It must not be forgotten that
the archbishop was always pressed for money, and died
heavily in debt, leaving a deficiency of 1,000//.®
His quarrels with Bek and vScarborough and Corbridge,
all of whom he excommunicated, the two latter amongst the
most important ecclesiastics in his diocese, betray great
infirmity of temper. In his behaviour to Scarborough he
exhibited a vindictive spirit quite out of keeping with his
position, but even in this quarrel he managed to enlist the

sympathies of the citizens of York, who were wilhng to
brave in his support the danger of excommunication by the
chapter, which the archbishop deemed unreasonable and
null.i Some of his quarrels may indeed be placed to his
credit : as with Bogo de Clare and Boniface of Saluzzo, on the
subject of pluralities. 2
The archbishop, notwithstanding these grave defects, was
not without qualifications suitable to his high office. His
attainments in theology were very considerable. For
several years he taught theology at Paris, ^ then the foremost
university in Europe, and Knyghton, who had much to say
against him, admits he was a great theologian and very well
read.* He is stated to have excelled his predecessors in
bounty and munificence. He had many knights in his
train, and did all in his power to advance and maintain the
honour and glory of his church.^ He was specially mindful
of the poor and oppressed. He endeavoured to protect
the Jews from harm when they w^ere expelled from England f
and when he learnt that in the East Riding the rector of
Skeme was exacting tithe from the very poor, he sternly
forbade this impost being taken from any whose wages did
not exceed 5s a year.'^ He relieved the tenants of some of
his manors from the irksome duty of attending the courts
every three weeks. ^ Another trait in his character, which
entitles him to our respect, was his admiration for bishop
Grosseteste. Romeyn may very possibly have known him
personally (the bishop died in 1254), his father certainly
must; but when he was precentor at Lincoln he would be sure
to hear of his great merits and the many miracles wrought at
his grave. He entertained such a profound veneration for
the bishop's memory that very shortly after he got to York,
more than thirty years after Grosseteste's death, he requested
the pope to take the necessary steps for his canonization. ^
In the discharge of his duties he set an example to other
prelates. He was most assiduous in visiting his diocese,

even the most remote parts. He was most vigilant in
looking after his clergy. The elder ones he encouraged to
attend the theological lectures of Master Thomas of
Wakefield, the chancellor of the diocese. i He endeavoured
to mitigate the evils caused by the appropriation of churches
by causing vicarages to be instituted with competent
endowments provided. 2 The scandal arising from clergy
receiving the revenues of churches to which they had not
been instituted was vigorously attacked.^
His chief claim, however, on our gratitude and admiration,
is the noble work he did in the minsters of York and
Southwell. In 1289 he persuaded the pope to let him
receive for three years the first year's proceeds of dignities,
prebends, and churches in his diocese not otherwise exempt,
which were to be applied to the repair of the fabric of the
cathedral, then in danger of ruin from excessive old age.*
Within a couple of years, thanks no doubt to the generosity
of the nobility and gentry of Yorkshire, many of whose arms
are recorded in the spandrils of the nave arches, he was in a
position to make a start. On Friday after the Sunday on
which " Laetare Jerusalem "^ was sung, that is, on April 8,
1291, the archbishop, standing at the south-east corner of
the nave, where he could look on his father's work in the
tower and north transept, laid the foundation stone of the
present magnificent nave in the presence of the dean, the
precentor, and the canons in residence. He did not live to
see the completion of the work, for it was not finished till
about the middle of the following century, but no name
should be more affectionately regarded by the lovers of York
Minster than that of him who so courageously began the
magnificent undertaking.
Other important edifices were erected about the same
time. Two years later the archbishop had the pleasure of
dating a deed in the new chapter house at York,^ and for the
chapter house at Southwell, one of the finest examples of
late thirteenth century architecture in the country, he made
special appeals to the canons of that minster to pay up the
arrears of their promised contributions.'^

i"It might also be noted that the lengthening eastward
of archbishop Roger's quire at Ripon, including the two
eastern bays and the magnificent east window, is usually
attributed to Romeyn's time, and the architectural charac-
teristics certainly point to a date c. 1290. There seems to
be no definite documentary evidence ; but this approximate
date seems clear, and the design of the east window, allowing
for variations in the tracery which naturally follow from its
later date, was clearly founded, I think, on the design of the
east window at Lincoln, the completion of which (1280)
Romeyn probably witnessesd while holding a dignity there.
Precentor Venables pointed out a curious piece of evidence
for the connexion between Romeyn's architectural work at
York and some work at Lincoln. The arcaded stone walls
at the back of the quire-stalls at Lincoln belong for the most
part to Grosseteste's day, when they were built in between
the piers on each side of St. Hugh's quire. But one of these
walls on the south side is much later than the rest, and was
built in connection with the shrine of Little St. Hugh, the boy
fabled to have been murdered by Jews, which projected into
the south aisle of the quire. The arcading on this wall is
approximately identical in design and measurement with the
arcading on the inner side, beneath the windows, of the aisle-
walls of the nave at York : the only difference being that there
is a row of ball-flower ornament in each case at Lincoln, filling
a hollow moulding which at York is left plain. This indicates
that the Lincoln work is rather later, and possibly was not
executed till 1300 or after ; but it was evidently executed
by a mason who had worked at York, and may have been
employed at Lincoln upon Romeyn's recommendation before
1295-6, There was, it is true, a certain amount of mutual
action and re-action between Lincoln and the great churches
of York diocese in the 13th century — e.g., the obvious
influence of the wall-arcades of St. Hugh's quire at Lincoln
upon the design of the triforium at Beverley — but this
particular coincidence is very striking ; and, if the authorities
at Lincoln were in want of masons, there was no one to
whom they would be so likely to apply as a prelate with
architectural interests who had been one of themselves. At
the same time, the chapters of York and Lincoln had several
common members, and one of these may be the really
responsible person."
^I am indebted to Mr. A. Hamilton Thompson for these remarks
about Ripon Minster.
XXXvi. INTRODUCTION.
Romeyn, besides providing for the fabrics of his minster
churches, took care that divine service should be celebrated
in tliem in a manner not unsuited to their noble surroundings.
With this object he instituted the prebend of Bilton at
Yorki and Eaton and North Leverton at Southwell,^ as well
as dividing into three portions the prebend of Masham in the
former church, ^ though this division seems to have been a
mistake and did not last long.
Archbishop Romeyn's register is now all printed except
Torre's index and the constitutions of Pope Boniface viii.
The latter of which have no local interest. In the portion
of the register now printed attention may be called to the list
of precedents (pp. 179-190) and the various Scotch documents
recorded amongst the letters to suffragan bishops (pp. 82-133).
The list of "forme" or precedents, numbering 172, affords
examples of nearly every kind of document likely to be
required in the archbishop's chancery. It is written in a
contemporary hand and would be used for reference at
once. The Scotch documents throw a good deal of light on
the history of the diocese of Whithorn at the end of the
thirteenth century. The records relating to the election of
a bishop of that see in 1293-4 (pp. 115, 126-130) should be
compared with those of an earlier bishop, in 1236, given in
Gray's Register (pp. 170-173). To the kindness of Mr. C.
Hunter Blair, who is compiling an illustrated catalogue
of the seals in the Treasury at Durham for the Newcastle
Society of Antiquaries, the Society is indebted for the
negative of archbishop Romeyn's seal, from which the
frontispiece has been made. He gives the following

INTRODUCTION. XXXVll.
Henry of Newark, who succeeded Romeyn as thirty-ninth
archbishop of York, is a much less interesting person than
his predecessor. His episcopate was very brief and
comparatively httle is recorded about him. From his name
we may infer he came from Newark, but of his parentage
nothing is known. Two of his name are mentioned in the
York Registers. Wilham of Newark, possibly a brother,
archdeacon of Huntingdon, and prebendary of Farndon in
Lincoln cathedral, died heavily in debt in 1286.1 In the
York diocese he had held the rectory of Mexborough and a
portion in Kirkburton church.2 Another Wilham of
Newark, belonging to a later generation, was collated by
archbishop Newark to the prebend of North Muskham in the
church of Southwell on June 18, 1298. ^
In early life Newark was closely connected with the order
of Sempringham, often termed Gilbertines, so much so that he
calls himself a pupil of that order.* The association arose
from the priory of St. Katherine's, Lincoln, a Gilbertine
house, being the appropriators of the parish church at
Newark.

of Arts, but which one is unknown.^

Newark rose to eminence through his state services and
his connection with the court. Canon Rainei gives a hst of
the commissions on which he sat, commencing with his
appointment, on Dec. 12, 1276, in which he is termed one of
the king's household, to bind the king or his brother, Edmund
earl of Lancaster, to go on the next passage to the Holy
Land. 2 His earliest ecclesiastical preferment seems to have
been the stall of Browneswood in St. Paul's Cathedral,
which he held between 1271 and 1275. ^ He was prebendary
of Colwall in Hereford by 1278.* As such, on Feb. 5, 1278-9,
he had a grant of freewarren in the demesne lands of his
prebend of La Berton in Colewell and Hope, co. Hereford. ^
In January, 1293, he occurs as a canon of the church of Wells.^
He held two churches in the diocese of Lincoln, Bassingham
and Pytchley, both of which he voided when he became
archbishop ; Bassingham was in dispute by Sir Thomas of
Moulton and others, who presented Hugh de Menithorp, and
William of Middleton, who presented John of Husthwaite.
Hugh was instituted, Oct. i, 1298.^ Both Hugh and John
appear among the canons of York of the late years of Edward
i. In his other living, Pytchley (Pictesle), Northants, he
was succeeded by Master Henry of Nassington, instituted,
Feb. 27, 1296-7.® Most of his preferment, however, was in
the diocese of York. He seems to have held no parish, as
he never obtained possession of Bamby-le-Willows, to which
he was presented in 1270. ^ The following is a list of the
preferments he held in this diocese. The archdeaconry of
Richmond by royal grant, April 28, 1279 5^^ ^he prebends of

prebends of Weighton and North Muskham. He had
resigned the archdeaconry when he became dean of York.
Before he was archbishop he was much concerned with the
temporal affairs of the diocese. On the death of archbishop
Giffard he was appointed one of the guardians of the
temporahties of the see.i His advice was much sought by
his two immediate predecessors. Archbishop Wickwane
availed himself of his counsel in the quarrel with Durham, 2
and found him useful as an intermediary with the king in
expediting the levy of a subsidy. ^ The archbishop had so
much confidence in Newark's discretion that he entrusted
him with the large sum of 300 marks to be expended at the
Curia,* where most things could be bought. Archbishop
Romeyn had equal reliance on his abilities and discretion.
When he was abroad in 1288, he appointed Newark his vicar
general.^ In the quarrels with Durham and Canterbury,
Newark exerted a powerful influence over the archbishop^
and it was under his advice that Rome3m appointed John de
Lythegreynes his seneschal.'^ His opinion was no doubt
the more followed as he had lent money both to Wickwane
and his successor.^ When in Italy he even pledged his own
credit for one hundred marks on the archbishop's behalf, but
took care to get security when the archbishop was pa5ang
him a visit at Bassingham, his Lincolnshire living.^
The news of archbishop Romeyn's death on March 17,
1295-6, was at once carried by Master John de Craucumbe,
archdeacon of the East Riding, and Robert of Pickering,
canon of York, to the king, then at Wark-on-Tyne, in
Northumberland, who on March 26 granted licence to the
dean and chapter to elect a new archbishop. 10 His election
took place on May 7,11 and on June 5 the king signified his
assent to the election to the pope. 12 In the ordinary course
of events Newark should have proceeded to Rome for
consecration immediately after his election, but the wars in

the council of the regency during the king's absence in
Flanders, prevented him leaving the country.i Although
the king wrote asking that Newark should be consecrated in
this country as travelling was dangerous and his services were
needed at home, 2 the pope was very loath to accept Newark's
excuses. It was not till some ten months later (March 11,
1296-7) that Boniface viii appointed Newark to the vacant
see.^ The bull says this was done to please the king, but
there can be little doubt it was in consequence of bribes to
cardinals.*
The news was announced in Parliament on June 20, and
the next day Newark paid fealty for the temporalities of his
see.^ On the day following (June 22), John de Lythegreynes
and Malcolm de Harle, the escheators north and south of
Trent, were ordered to deliver them to the archbishop. ^
Another nine months elapsed before a commission
(Feb. 9, 1297-8) was issued to the bishops of Durham and
Carlisle to consecrate him.'^ It is very difficult not to
connect this delay with a faculty granted by the pope in the
previous December to the archbishop's proctors at the
Curia, Adam of Driffield, canon of Ponteland, in Northumber-
land, and Roger de Mar, rector of Whixley, to borrow 5,500
marks for the payment of the archbishop's expenses at
Rome.s
The bishop of Carlisle, John of Halloughton, did not act,
probably being engaged in Scotch affairs on the Border, so
Anthony Bek, bishop of Durham, summoned to aid him in
the consecration Walter of Langton, bishop of Lichfield, who
was still master of St. Leonard's Hospital, York, Leoline of
Bromfield, bishop of St. Asaph, and Robert Macdonagh,
bishop of Cork. The ceremony was performed in York
Minster on the third Sunday after Trinity (June 15), 1298.

The pallium was at the same time delivered to the newly

The archbishop's short reign was full of trouble. The
nave of the cathedral had fallen down, and the manors of
the see in Northumberland, from which no small portion
of its revenue was derived, had been destroyed by the Scots. ^
The scandal of intruding aliens had in no wise diminished.
The pope had provided his relative, Francesco Gaetani,
cardinal of Santa Maria in Cosmedin, to the next void
parsonage or dignity in the church of York. By Newark's
elevation to the primacy the deanery became void and as
such was claimed by Gaetani. The chapter, however, had
at once elected William of Hambleton, the archdeacon of
York, in Newark's stead, and though the archbishop from
fear of the pope did not confirm the election, Hambleton got
into possession. 3 On hearing this defiance of his authority
the pope sent a most peremptory summons to the archbishop,
the archdeacon, and subdean of York, to appear before him
within three months .* The archbishop asserted that he
had never received any notice of this citation, and begged to
be excused going on account of pressure of business, old age,
and physical infirmity.^ The king, too, wrote a letter^ of
remonstrance to the pope, pointing out the harm which
would be inflicted on the church of York by the prolonged
absence of the dean, in consequence of which the distribution
of alms in certain parishes, namely Pocklington and Pickering
with their parochial chapels, and Kilham, of which the
deanery consisted, would cease. Hambleton, who had been
elected by an unanimous vote, was one of the king's clerks,
and had served him faithfully for many years. Ultimately
the pope was obliged to peld. The cardinal resigned the
deanery, and on March i6, 1299-1300, the pope provided
Hambleton to it. As a consolation, Gaetani was to receive
the next void dignity at York.''
Newark's tenure of office was brief, only one year seven
weeks and three days. He must have been an old man and
in infirm health all the time.^ He was seriously ill at
Cawood on July 27, 1299,^ and lingered on till August 15,
the feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin. His

body was taken from Cawood to York, and buried in the
minster.i
By his will archbishop Newark left an important legacy,
confirmed by letters patent, March 28, 1300,2 namely, an
ordinance with the consent of the chapter, that the proceeds
of future buildings on a plot of land in Hull, belonging to the
archbishopric, and then void but for one messuage built
thereon, should be apphed to the maintenance of four
chaplains to celebrate divine service daily for the souls of the
king, queen, and archbishops of York, namely one chaplain
in each of the chapels of the manors of the archbishopric,
Cawood, Burton, and Wilton, to be appointed by the
archbishop, or by the dean and chapter in voidance of the
see ; and one chaplain at the altar of St. William in York
Minster, to be appointed by the dean and chapter, or the
chapter in voidance of the deanery. Each chaplain to
receive loos a year by the hands of the archbishops, out of
the rents of the houses to be constructed, to be paid on
voidance of the see to the keepers of the archbishopric.
The confirmation was granted " for the king's affectionate
remembrance of his labours."
Newark's episcopate was so brief, and his register is so
imperfect, that there are hardly sufficient materials from
which to form any sure judgment of his character. From
the numerous commissions on which he sat, on secular as
well as clerical matters, he must have been looked on as a
good man of business, probably what we would now call a
very safe man.
Newark's register, like that of archbishop Romeyn, has
been lately bound in citron morocco. It was used as the
register for Sede Vacante till 1564. It is a stout volume of
698 folios, of which Newark's portion reaches to fo. 55d.
These are here printed, as well as folios 56-66, being the
Sede Vacante after his death. The size of the Newark
portion is 12 x 8 in., and that of the Sede Vacante 13 x 8 in.
The following are interpolations, folios 4, three unnumbered
folios between 7 and 8, 12, 14, 20, 23, 24, 26, 27, 28, 31,
32, 33, 35> 36, 42-49> 5i, 53, 54, 57, 60, 63, 64, 65. Large
portions of the register are missing. Nothing has survived
of the parts relating to the archdeaconries of York and
Cleveland. Richmond, which as usual is very brief, is
perfect, but the East Riding and Nottingham are only

fragmentary. What remains makes us regret what has
perished. The entries in the surviving portions give a very
favourable idea of the care with which the register was kept.
No example of Newark's archiepiscopal seal is known to
exist.
The editor has again to thank the same friends who assisted
in the preparation of the first volume. Mr. A. V. Hudson,
the archbishop's registrar, has again permitted him to have
free access to the York registers, and has thus enabled him to
carry forward his task of transcribing later registers, those of
archbishops Corbridge and Greenfield, part i, and a
considerable portion of part ii. Mr. G. G. Coulton has been
most helpful in solving points of special difficulty, especially
in extending unusual abbreviations. To Mr. A. Hamilton
Thompson, F.S.A., this volume owes a very large portion of
such merits as it may possess. Only a small part, however,
of his help has been directly acknowledged.

P. 59, note 2. Mr. A. Hamilton Thompson suggests that
Killeford may be Clynnog fawr in the old deanery of Arvon.
An Englishman, hearing the word imperfectly, might very
well write it down as "Killeford," "Killyvore," or some such
form. Anything is possible with people who made Worthen
into Wrlin {Reg. Wickwane, pp. xxvi, 318). The church
was a valuable one : the tenth in the Valor Ecclesiasticus is
reckoned on a net value of 2411 ; and it was one of the few
churches in Wales an English clerk would think it worth his
while to snatch up.

J., archbishop of York, his diocesan, to whom he was delivered
in accordance wdth the privilege of the clergy, as the king
learns by an inquisition, that he caused to be made afterwards

drawn up about Feb. 15, 1288, the date of the consecration of

P. 175, no. 1544. In Reg. Wickwane (no. 144) is a similar

March 31, 1282 {ibid.). From the king's itinerary either

P. 216, no. 44. Master Garin, Garrin, or Garric, proctor
of Theobald of Bar, is styled by bishop Stubbs {Chronicles
Edward i and Edward ii (Rolls Series), i, p. xxxv), Gerric de
Sago. In the Cal. of Patent Rolls (1292-1301, pp. 261, 572),
he is called Garricus or Gerricus de Fago.
P. 253, no. 171. The bishop of Hereford at this time

P. 273, no. 248. In Reg. Kempe, ff. Ii5-ii6d. is a docu-
ment relating to a suit brought by Sir Thomas Chaworth of
Wiverton, knt., and other parishioners from Wiverton,
against master John Carter, rector of Langar, who had
neglected and refused to supply a chaplain in the chapel of
St. Lawrence at Wiverton. The case was heard by master
Richard Tone, Dec. doc, by commission dated Scrooby,
Sept. 10, 1446 : on Nov. 10, 1447, he condemned Carter to find
a chaplain at his own costs and keep the chaplain's house in
repair. Thomas Wodecote, rector of Langar, Oct. 16, 1456,
granted a charter to Sir Thomas Chaworth and heirs for the
ministration of all sacraments and sacramentals, burials only
excepted, to all persons dwelling within the site of the manor
of Wiverton. This was confirmed by archbishop William
Bothe at Southwell, Oct. 19, 1456 (Reg. W, Bothe, ff. I94d.,
195). There is a book about Wiverton, A Cavalier Stronghold,
by the late Mrs. Chaworth Musters. The dining-room of the
present house has been made out of the vaulted gate-hall of
the 15th centur}' gate-house. I do not remember any
remains of the chapel of St. Lawrence. Langar is at some

P. 295. no. 294. No doubt Newark's connexion with the
order of Sempringham was due to the fact that the prior and
convent of St. Katherine's at Lincoln were the appropriators
of Newark church.
P. 296, no. 296, 11. 9-12. Mr. A. Hamilton Thompson
suggests the following translation of this somewhat involved
passage : — You (whom I had never served), when by reason
of [my] slight and out of date acquaintance of the affair, I
was in a manner about to perish in my confusion, rushed
with your prodigious kindness to the rescue and wisely put
right my lapse. If 'p'itur'' is taken as periturus, this makes
the sense all right, though perituri is preferable, i.e., ' to the
rescue of one about to perish,' as the sense goes with
presidium and not with the parenthetic cut nunquam
servieram, but it is clear the insufficient knowledge of the
affair was the archbishop's, not the cardinal's.
P. 307, no. 310. It is uncertain whether the day is 17 kal.
Junii or 17 kal. Julii, but as the archbishop is still only elect
and the document is dated in Notts, it must be the former
month. He was at Scrooby at 10 kal. Junii, 1298 (no. 24).
On 17 kal. Julii, the day of his consecration, he was at
York. He was at Bishopthorpe on the ides of June (no. 25).
Peter of Savoy, the dean of Salisbury, was beneficed in York
Minster. See Reg. Ronieyn, nos. 1106, 11 14. He was
archbishop of Lyons, 1308-1332.
P. 309, no. 316. Wyon is Wyham, seven miles N.W. of
Louth. See Rotuli H. Welles (Cant, and York Soc. ), iii, 143,
where it is called Wyun, and Rotuli R. Grosseteste, 50, 86
(Wihun), 74, 92 (Wyhum). The identification of this
vicarage of Wyhame, Wyham {Welles, i, 53, 116), as Wyham
is wrong : it is Wytham-on-the-Hill near Bourn, which
belonged to Bridlington priory. — (A. H. T.)
P. 3i8«, col. 2. Master Wilham Segini del God, king's
clerk, canon of Wells, was presented by the king to the
church of Manchester on June 20, 1296. (C. P. R., 1292-1301,
pp. 189, 190).

-"Papa de Trebis " shews that he
was related to a pope, and
apparently that his home was in
the Trevi region of Rome. At the

denote Trevi in Umbria. The
lords of Trevi were at this time
Italians of German origin ; but
they seem to have had no connec-

Gaetani acquired Trevi in 1299

-From no. 1434 it would seem
that it was not without much
ditficulty the archb. was able to
secure the service of John de
Lythegreyns as liis steward or
seneschal. He was a man of very
considerable experience in public
affairs. His name frequently
occurs in different commissions
entered on the Patent Rolls during
the latter part of the thirteenth
century. He occupied the im-
portant ofliccs of sheriff of North-
umberland (3-6 Edw. i) and York-
shire (1280-1285). Nothing, how-
ever, is known of his origin or
whence he derived his name. His
arms, gules, an orlc silver, over all
a bend gold (Archceologia ^liana,
3rd series, vi, 120),, implies some
close connection with house of
Balliol, which bore the same coat
unditferenced by the bend. The
earliest, and, indeed, the only other
person of his name, occurs in
27 Henry iii (1242-3), when it was
lound tliat Robert de Lithegraincs
had been murdered in the wapen-
take of Sadbcrge in south Durham,
very probably near Barnard Castle,
the chief scat of the Balliols. His
murderers were outlawed at the
suite of fiis widow Isoude (Two
Thirteenth Century Durham Assize
Rolls (Surtees Soc. cxxii), p. 6).
On June 10, 1282, the king ratified
a demise for nine years by Nicholas
de Meynil to John de Lythegrayns
of a moiety of the lands, etc., of
Andrew de Feugers in Castelleving-
ton, late the pledge of Hagin the
Jew, which pledge the king had
granted to the said Nicholas tor his
late services in the army of Wales,
until he should raise 200 marks
from the aforesaid lands (Cal. uf
Pat. Rolls (1281-1292), p. 25). On
Feb. 19, 1290, Lythegreyns had
licence to assign liis manor of
Lazenby, near Northallerton, to six
chaplains to celebrate in the chapel
of St. Mary there (Ibid., p. 347),
and Yorkshire Inquisitions, ii, 90).
On 17 kal. Nov. (Oct. 16), 1293, the
bishop of Lincoln, Oliver Sutton,
granted an indulgence of forty days
to all persons going to that chapel
for devotional purposes and con-
tributing to its support. The in-
dulgence says the chapel had
been lately built by Sir John de
Lythegreyns, knt., in a hospital at
Leysingbv near Northalverton
[Reg. Sutton. Mem. fo. llOd). On
Aug. 17, 1295, he was appointed

Profession of
obedience of
Henry, bp.
of Whithorn.
^The king's itinerary shews he
left Paris early in August, and that
the place in question is possibly
Samois (Seine et Marne).
2The royal letter was also sent to
the bishop of Durham and to
Master H., archdeacon of Rich-
mond.
^It was on the occasion of this
meeting of the archb. and the bishop
of Whithorn that the former granted
an indulgence of fort^- days, which
was to be valid for seven years, an
unusually long period, to all who
should contribute to the restoration
and rebuilding of the cathedral at
Whithorn which had been destroyed
by fire (no. 11). Henry, bishop of
Whithorn, formerly abbot of Holy-
rood, was consecrated in 1255. For
an account of him see Dowden's
The Bishops of Scotland, p. 357.
On the second day after the feast of
St. Leonard the abbot, 6 idus Nov.
(Nov. 8), 1282, he made his profes-
sion of obedience to archb. William
Wickwane in the presence of

■which took place at Ely, Oct. 1,
1290. The end of the letter proba-

been raised by Peckham, in view
of the inevitable dispute ' de

worthy that, though this quarrel
was occasionally threatened,
Romeyn's attitude to Ganterbury
seems always to have been politic,
as is shown by the closing remarks
of the letter. Gf. no. 1132.

Master Thomas of Kirkcudbright,
Bruce's protege, was the successful
candidate. He was consecrated at
Gedling on Oct. 10, 1294 (no. 1406).
He is called Thomas of Galloway or
Palton in the next deed, and
Thomas of Daltoun in the Chronicle
of Lanercost (-p. 155). He probably
derived his name from Dalton in
Annandale, the original portion of
the Bruce patrimony in Scotland.

bishop will be found in Dowden's
Bishops of Scotland, p. 359.

^It is difficult to see why Gedling,
of all places, was eventually chosen.
The archb. was on his way home
from the convocation at London,
where the king had made pressing
demands upon the clergy. Possibly
the bishops of Carhsle and St. Asaph
travelled with him, and met the
elect of Whithorn at this point.
The bishop of Carlisle, apart from
the fact that he was probably a
Nottinghamshire man from Haluc-
ton or Halloughton, near South-
well, was, at Gedling, within easy
reach of his manor house at Mel-
bourne ; while the bishop of St.
Asaph could turn off here and travel
to his diocese via Nottingham and
Chester. The fabric of Gedling
church in its present state is very
much as it was when the consecra-
tion took place, a very fine church,
rebuilt at two periods during the
1 3th century.

"Littera super creacione Bonifacii pape viij, archiepiscopo
Eboracensi et suffraganeis suis directa." Letter from pope
Boniface viii to the archbishop of York and his suffragans,
announcing that, after the resignation of Peter Murrone
(pope Celestine v) on the feast of St. Lucy the Virgin (Dec.
13), he, then cardinal of St. Martin, had been elected Pope on
Friday after 10 kal. Jan. (Dec. 24) at Castel Nuovo {Novum
Castellum) near the town of Naples. ^
^There is a mountain called Rocca
la Meja (the last word is apparently
local patois) in the Maritime Alps,
near the western boundary of Pied-
mont ; and there may have been a
collegiate church here. The name
' Roger ' seems to fit this part of the
world.
^Printed in the Registres de
Boniface viii, p. 1, where the letter
is headed " Littera coronationis,"
and addressed to the archbishop of
Sens. A similar letter was written
to Blanche, wife of Edmund, son
of Henry iii, commonly called
Crouchback.
^Novum Castellum is the Castel
Nuovo at Naples, begun by Charles
of Anjou in 1283. It overlooks the
present Military Harbour, and the
Darsena, or basin of the Arsenal.
Celestine v was kept in custody
here, and induced to resign, prob-
ably owing to the machinations of
Benedetto Gaetani, cardinal of San
Martino. There is a scandalous

introducing a speaking-tube through
the wall of Celestine's room, made
Celestine, who was a devout fanatic,
believe that the Holy Ghost, speak-
ing to him in the watches of the
night, commanded him to resign.
At any rate, Gaetani was elected
pope at Naples, Dec. 24, the election
being controlled by Charles of Anjou

did not. quando sub istis nominibus proponuntur, prohibicioni non
est locus ; eciam si propter detentacionem istorum diuturnam
ad earum pecuniariam estimacionem veniatur. Set si
clericus vel religiosus decimas suas, in horreo congre-
gatas vel alibi existentes, vendiderint alicui pro pecunia,
si pecunia ilia petatur coram judice ecclesiastico, locum
habet regia prohibicio, quia apud vendicionem res spirituales
sunt temporales et transeunt de in catalla. Item,
si contencio de jure decimarum oriatur de jure patronatus,
et earum decimarum quantitas accedat ad terciam partem
bonorum ecclesie, locum habet regia prohibicio. Item, si
prelatus imponat penam pecuniariam alicui pro peccato et
petat pecuniam illam, locum habet regia prohicio. Verump-
tamen si prelati imponant penam corporalem, et sic puniti
velint penam per pecuniam redimere, non habet locum regia
prohibicio, si corporaliter prelati vel episcopi pecuniam
exigant. Item, si quis manus violentas injecerit in clericum,
pro violata pace debet emendare coram rege. Pro excom-
municacione vero coram prelato vel episcopo imponatur
pena corporalis ; quam si reus sponte redimere velit,i dando
prelato vel episcopo pecuniam potest redimere, [in istis]

1 The archbishop received homage for land in Leicestershire in 1294, " in aula de Totenhale "
(Ree. Giffard, p. 15). Archbishop le Romeyn and his successor often naade it their resting place,
when visiting London. Its site was close to the comer of Euston and Hampstead Roads, just
north of the end of Tottenham Court Road, which commemorates the prebend of Tottenhall, or
Tottenham Court, in St. Paul's Cathedral. The corpus of this prebend was in the parish of St.
Pancras. Mr. A. Hamilton Thompson writes : — " It seems to have been a common stopping-
place for bishops on their visits to London. I have met it in the Lincoln and Hereford Registers,"
2 Thorpe Salvin, or some place between Scrooby and Gedling.

directa domino Karleolensi ad convocandum clerum pro

Carte libertatum et foreste." Letter from H., archbishop
elect, to J. (de Halton), bishop of Carhsle, informing him
that the king, on promise of a subsidy, had confirmed the
Great Charter and the Forest Charter, and that, owing to
the kingdom of England being exposed to great dangers,
especially in the northern parts, and that the king stood in
great need of money, the laity had granted a ninth. The
king wished the provinces of York and Canterbury to grant
a subsidy in common, but, to avoid trouble, it had been
decided that there should be a convocation of either province,
so the bishop was ordered to summon a meeting of the clergy
of his diocese, to choose two proctors who should go to
York on Friday, the eve of St. Andrew (Nov. 29), to treat
about this subject. {Records of the Northern Convocation

J. de Lythegreyns." A letter from the archbishop to Sir John
de Lythegreyns, informing him that on this Thursday before
the feast of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist (June 20)
letters of confirmation from the pope had been presented to
the king in Parliament, who had received them with a joyful
countenance, and that on the morrow he was to do fealty
for the temporalities. He requested Lythegreyns to take
possession of the temporalities on his behalf. {Letters from

Albertinus, who alone of our men was able to speak with

have been completed. If you have not finished before he
comes, avail yourself of his assistance. The Dublin affair^
is arranged. Get on with our business and don't ask advice
as you are in the very place where it can be best obtained.
Business has always been done through merchants at the
time of elections to this see, so ask the pope to order some
company of merchants in England to receive the money we
have borrowed from friends for his use. Lately we received
on Monday before the feast of the Decollation of St. John
the Baptist (Aug. 26) your letters by Francis, but they give
no reason why he should be sent. The matter has com-
menced in the papal Camera and must be terminated there.

302. No date. The archbishop to Cardinal Matthew.^
The goods of John, our predecessor, who died heavily in
debt to the king and others, have been, at our request, just
delivered to his executors, but will not suffice to pay his
debts, leaving a deiiciency of i,oooli. We will pay 500
marks owing by him for your pension to merchants of the
company of the Amanati at Rome before next Lent. The
fury of the Scots, who have burnt our manors and villages
on the Borders, have reduced the income of the see by a
third, so that we are so oppressed by debt, that, had it not
been for the help of friends, we could scarce live. When our
means have increased we will shew ourselves grateful.

his executors, on account of his age

perhaps Broad Blunsdon, near
Swindon. The connection between
the family of Bluntesdon and York

THE SURTEES SOCIETY.
REPORT FOR THE YEAR MCMXVI.
Owing to the war the issue of the Report has been delayed till
the present year. The Society has lately had to deplore the loss
of one of its Vice-Presidents, Mr. Richard Oliver Heslop, who
held that office since 1905. Although Mr. Heslop, who was
not an infrequent attendant at the Council Meetings, had done
little work directly for the Society, his readiness and geniality in
imparting information will be missed by many members. His
capacity as an antiquary and philologist are borne witness to
by his labours for the Newcastle Society of Antiquaries and
his admirable volume, " Northumberland Words, •'^ published
by the English Dialect Society, a monument of patient and dis-
criminating research. This vacancy has not been filled up. The
only other change in the Vice-Presidents is the substitution of
Mr. William Brown, till recently Secretary of the Society, in the
place of the Rev. Henry Gee, D.D., Master of University College,
Durham, who has been elected Secretary in Mr. Brown^s place.
Since the issue of the last Report four volumes have appeared,
bringing the Society^s publications up to date. In no. 124
Mr. J. Crawford Hodgson has published a second volume of
North Country Diaries, containing no fewer than five diaries
with other documents of a similar nature. The scarcity of such
records makes the editor's industry and perseverance in securing
so many the more noteworthy. The volume is edited with
Mr. Hodgson's usual care and accuracy. The second part of
the York Memorandum Book completes this most valuable
record. In it is given a lively picture of city life during the
fourteenth and fifteenth centuries in our Northern metropolis,
illustrating not only its municipal and mercantile aspects, but
the ecclesiastical, and in the miracle plays even the theatrical.
The references to the foreign traders, especially those from the
Hanse Towns, give an idea how extensive the commerce of York
was at this time. In the Register of the Priory of St. Bees Canon
James Wilson shews how a somewhat arid subject may be
rendered readable. The value of the book is much enhanced
by an appendix of illustrative documents. The last volume
(no. 127) is a volume of niiscellaiiea. It contains: (i) Two
Thirteenth Century Assize Rolls for the County of Durham,
edited by Mr. K. E. Bayley. These are the earliest assize rolls
extant antl the only ones for that county in the Public Record
Office. Unfortunately ill-health and pressure of business have
prevented the editor from giving the annotation these rolls
deserve and require. (2) North Country Deeds of considerable
value, and edited v^ith copious notes by the late Secretary.
(3) Documents relating to the Visitations of the Diocese and
I'rovince of York in 1407 and 1423, under the editorship of
Mr. A. Hamilton Thompson. Records of such visitations are
rare, especially of the province, a prerogative the primate of the
Northern province was seldom able to exercise,, chiefly in con-
sequence of the jealousy of his powerful suffragan, the bishop
of Durham.
Mr. R, H. Skaife, who recently died in Leeds, did good work
many years ago as editor of two of the Society^s most useful
publications. His edition of " Kirkby^s Inquest'^ (vol. 49),
with its triple index of Yorkshire place-names, is indispensable
for all students of the topography of that county. The Register
of the Corpus Christi Guild, York (vol. 57), under his care has
been enriched with notes, forming a mine of information about
Yorkshire families in the fifteenth century.
A considerable number of volumes are in a forward state of
preparation and may be expected to appear soon. For York-
shire : — The second volume of " Visitations of the North, ^' edited
by Mr. F. W. Dendy. The " Records of Merchant Adven-
turers of York," edited by Miss Sellers. The " Horae Ebora-
censes," edited by the Rev. Canon Wordsworth. The
'' Register of Archbishop John le Romeyn,^^ part ii., with which
will appear the " Register of Archbishop Henry of Newark, ""^
edited bv Mr. William Brown. The " Valor Ecclesiasticus for
Yorkshire" with a large amount of annotation, edited by
Mr. A. Hamilton Thompson.
For the two Northern Counties : — '' Protestations for the
County of Durham in 1642," edited by Mr. H. M. Wood.
"^ Tithe Accounts of the l^arish of Gainford in the seventeenth
century, with illustrative documents," edited by Miss Alice
Edlcston. A " Register of Roman Catholics' estates in
Northumberland in 1717 — 1770," edited by Mr. J. Crawford
Hodgson.

In jMcsenting his last Report the Secretary desires to tender
his most hearty thanks to the members of the Society and the
editors of the vohimes which have appeared during his tenure
of office for their courtesy and forbearance. Of this period, nine-
teen years, he will always have most pleasant recollections,
more especially as it has afforded him the opportunity of making
many friends. In Dr. Gee it is felt that the Society has secured
the services of a Secretary who will carry on the traditions of
his two predecessors, Dr. Raine and his son Canon Raine, the
latter of whom was so well known to many of the elder
members of the Society. It is worth noticing that Dr. Gee
P will only be the fourth Secretary of the Society since its founda-
tion over eighty years ago.
